I want to connect some ancient myths for you with scripture to give you a deeper understanding of the emerging deception that is now unfolding in the world. What I am writing here in this blog series is going to be very critical for you to understand and not be confused by the coming great deception.

One of the most popular Youtube downloads has been the "Zeitgeist Movement" presentations by Peter Joseph. Millions of downloads. He basically blasts the world status quo of politics, bankers and organized religion and presents a technocratic solution to all man's problems. He takes a special interest in excoriating Christianity as just a myth and makes what seems to be a very plausible case that the death and resurrection of Christ is just the same myth from more than 20 other ancient cultures that have the same story of a dying god that goes to the underworld but then is resurrected to return to rule the world. The most famous of these myths of course is the Egyptian story of Isis, Osiris and their son Horus and Osiris brother Set who kills him but Isis manages to resurrect him from the underworld.

This myth is connected always to the hero being a saviour of mankind who brought mankind gifts of great knowledge and is and was there to be man's helper but was punished for helping mankind. In its Greek and Roman form this would be the Prometheus mythology. But it always goes with the story that once there was a wonderful "Golden Age" when men lived in paradise but an angry and evil god threw mankind out and another kind helpful god came to help men restore paradise but was punished to the underworld for helping mankind.

I have made extensive researches and do not know how many books I have researched on all manner of occult subjects to finally get a clear idea of what is really going on here. You see it is not only ancient Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Babylonians, Aztecs that believed this story line but the entire history of the rediscovery of the occult sciences for the last 700 years since the discovery and publishing of the "Hermetica" and a raft of ancient manuscripts all tell the same story and all are pursuing the same goal by different means and it is this:

A. The Golden Age
There once was a Golden Age when the gods and goddesses walked and lived among men ruling mankind and providing abundance for people through processes involving miraculous powers.

Now here is where evangelicals have not done their scriptural homework: There really was a time when the "elohim". the gods or what we call fallen angels actually were visible and lived among mankind. Just refer to Gen. 6.

The ancient Sumerians in their artwork on carvings had clear depictions of these visible and real "gods". Here are some of them:

Notice two things here. The gods were depicted with wings meaning that they were not ordinary men even though they looked like people and that was to indicate for viewers these are gods who can fly and come from the sky. The other carving shows the relative size of these gods...note the small normal humans and note the size of the god they are serving....what the Bible would describe as "and there were giants in the earth in those days".

B The war among the gods
There is always a story of a war among the gods in which the helpful gods are vanquished by evil gods and are consigned or imprisoned in the underworld.

C. The return of the gods and the Golden Age
There is common agreement among not only the ancient myths but also the more recent occult world orders that the gods are destined to return and will bring with them secret and ancient technology that will create a world of abundance for mankind and peace on the earth.

For example: The Middle Ages had the resurrection of the old Rosicrucian order who fervently believed in the reality of Plato's Atlantis story and believed that Atlantis was to be discovered and rebuilt just beyond the "pillars of Hercules" which is the mountains on either side of the entrance to the Mediterranean sea at Gibraltar. Francis Bacon the Lord Chancellor to king James and secret master of the order wrote his famous "New Atlantis" book as an outline and vision for creating this resurrected Atlantis (which was founded by the god Poseidon for his 10 sons to rule) and chartered the Virginia Company 1606 to settle the new lands of America and create the New Atlantis as a place where the gods can return and establish Atlantis again.

D. The gods can be brought back with the help of the elect
Here is the critical part. The gods can be released from their imprisonment in the underworld through the help of their devoted elect followers. Thus in the grail legacies we have the lost Fisher King who lies with a mortal wound and Percival the brave knight (who is actually the son) searches for the Holy Grail that will heal the great king and bring him back to Camelot and lift the curse on the land. The Grail being the esoteric knowledge of the keys to occult power that is to be sought by the Alchemist.

Always there is in all these myths some secret "gnosis" that is to be discovered that will give the devotee occult powers to release the fallen gods from their prison and when the gods are thus accessed there is always the promise of some sort of power or wealth or influence or great fortune or success. This keeps the devotee on the searching path into the underworld.

Now let me put all this into a scriptural context and give you an idea of what I beleive the great deception will entail in the years ahead and the battle that waits us:

The key: Start at Genesis and end in Revelation:

When Adam and Eve sinned this is what God said to the serpent (the Nachash in Hebrew who in actual fact was and is Satan) Gen. 3:14-15:

"Because you have done this you are cursed....upon your belly shall you go and dust shall you eat all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed and it (her seed) shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel."

I don't have much space here to expand on this but here is what has happened. Satan is kicked out of heaven and cursed to the earth with restricted powers. Although he will hurt the coming seed of the woman who is Christ and His bride the church, they will bruise and crush his head one day in judgment. Proof? Romans 16:20

"The God of peace shall bruise the head of Satan under your feet shortly."

Here is what Paul understood and what scripture teaches us:

There was a time when these gods deceived the world and convinced mankind to serve them and worship them. They could at that time appear openly to people and make great spectacle of the powers of flight and strength and magical powers. Think here of Superman and the X-Men.

Then Christ came and bound these fallen angels that they deceive not the world until the time comes when they are released to once again deceive the world:

Jude 6 "And the angels who did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling he has kept in eternal chains in deepest darkness for the judgment of the great day"

2 Peter 2:4 "For is God did not spare the angels who sinned but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved for judgment."

1 Peter 3:19 "...He (Jesus) went and preached to the spirits in prison who formerly were disobedient..."

But the Bible says they will be released from their prison onto the earth so that they can be judged by the saints and cast into the lake of fire for destruction. However this release will cause incredible deception in the earth with only God's saints the elect able to deal with these powers:

Rev. 9:1-11 "And the fifth angel blew his trumpet ...and he was given the key to the bottomless pit and he opened the bottomless pit....and the demons had king over them the angel of the bottomless pit called in Hebrew Abaddon and in Greek Apollo"

Rev. 17:8 'And the beast that you saw was and is not and is to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to perdition"

Now lets connect this with what Paul was warning the Christians in Thessalonians:

2 Thess. 2:1 "Now brethren concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto him...let no one deceive you by any means for that day will not come until there is a great falling away first and the man of sin is revealed the son of perdition..."

So forget about all those who are telling you that Jesus is coming to rapture us out of here before the appearance of Satan on earth....you are being deceived. You will see Satan and so will the world and that is why there is coming an incredible falling away especially of a brainwashed generation that is glued to TV, video's, movies all glorifying the supermen, the X-Men, the space gods, the cool vampires, the walking dead ....

Now you can understand what Paul says in 2 Thess. 2: 5-6
"...and then will that lawless one be revealed (Satan) whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the manifestation (Gr. "phaneroo") of His presence (Gr. "parousia") And now you know the thing (the Abyss) that is holding back (Abaddon) that he may be revealed at the proper time for the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only the thing (the Abyss) that which now restrains him (Abaddon, Satan) will continue to do so until out of the midst (of the Abyss) he comes" (Literal translation)

Is the Abyss opening and are the flying gods starting to make their appearance to deceive the world? I believe the Nazis were through the SS Waffen of Himmler a secret occult society seeking strange technologies and powers from hidden powers as forerunner of today's deception in the skies above us:

It was no accident that soon after World War 2 these flying craft and their anti-gravity technology were starting to be seen all over the world.

Satan is called "Baal-ezebub" the "Lord of the Flying things". He is also called the prince of the powers of the air.

I believe we are faced with intelligence agencies and occult societies that are actively in touch through spirit mediums and actively seeking after secret powers and technologies, opening doorways into the spirit world and not realizing who they are dealing with and what chaos they are going to unleash on the earth.

I believe the day of 'Disclosure" is coming when it will be openly acknowledged that governments are in contact with "extraterrestrials" and that mankind is not alone in the universe.

I believe that this will rock every world religion to its core and shake the foundations of the international world order.

I believe this will result in world wide economic turmoil and mass chaos and universal deception. The chaos and fear will come when the world realizes that these beings are evil, liars and destructive.

I believe only the Spirit filled remnant of God, His great Joel's army will have the power and authority to send these beings into the perdition of the lake of fire were they belong and bring not only peace on earth but the world's greatest revival when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
